  • Adobe stole my creative suite

    Jump

  • Even then, it'd take a lot more than just equal quality and compatibility. Folks are too used to Adobe slop to switch.

    I've recently started using Affinity instead and ngl, it's getting there. No AI stuff (which is a plus for me), runs better, and is capable of doing damn near the same things.

  • What is an event that altered you in some way?

    Jump

  • At the time it felt like I should be learning something but I just felt a bit ashamed, being nagged and all. Yk the saying, wisdom was chasing me but I was faster. Just needed my knees and back to ache for it to catch up. It honestly wasn't even age that got it to land. I just met people that didn't really go to the same places I did, or had a different idea of a hangout spot. I needed to see stuff with my own eyes to learn.

    I'm slowly making my way through leftist theory, and introducing my equally-as-privileged friends into it, and have managed to change some of their beliefs which previously were set in stone. They're still liberal as shit, but at least now understand socialism/communism isn't just people trying to take their stuff.

  • Must've been around 13-15, went to a pizza hut with my then girlfriend. I saw a darker skinner, heavy-set lady walking over to the counter with her two kids, all of them looking a little dishevelled. Without thinking I said "She looks poor" in probably a demeaning manner to my girlfriend, and she answered "you say that like it's her fault".

    I'm dumb as fuck so the penny didn't drop until several years later about the reality of my privilege, and how unfair and fucked up the system really is. Nearly ended up alt-right, now I'm a comrade.

  • What EldenSoulsBorne boss gave you an embarrassing amount of trouble?

    Jump

  • Lady butterfly. Died 47 times against her. I'd always dodged instead of parry in soulslikes, and she kicked my ass over it.

  • What's an immediate turn off in a person?

    Jump

  • Hm, yeah that's more than reasonable.

  • What is a product you would never recommend?

    Jump

  • Hm, yeah that might be the case. Last guitar with a FR I bought was well over 10y ago.

  • What is a product you would never recommend?

    Jump

  • Any guitar under $700 with any feature you'd expect to be standard in medium to high end guitars. If a brand new guitar has a floyd rose but is $300, it won't hold tuning, and the screws will strip easily.

    Not saying expensive guitars are good by default, but there's very little room for innovation in the guitar world, and corner cutting will happen in cheaper guitars.

    Jump

  • Not OP, but I kinda agree. Around where I'm at, posh accents are really annoying.

  • What's an immediate turn off in a person?

    Jump

  • drinks/imbibes beyond group vibes.

    How about drinking while cooking? Yk, having wine while cooking steak au jus or something.

  • What's an immediate turn off in a person?

    Jump

  • i'm probably in the minority w this, but blending in is comfortable as hell, as someone who doesn't really enjoy being social.

    Long after the pandemic was under control I was still using a mask, partly due to health concerns back home, but mostly because with a mask, cap, and glasses, I could walk by people I know but would rather not strike up conversation.

  • What's an immediate turn off in a person?

    Jump

  • Not necessarily. I'm not in the US, but we've imported a lot of their less savoury customs, and tipping culture is one of them. It is costumary to tip 18% where I'm from.

  • Is anyone else like this?

    Jump

  • Yuuuup. I received half a class in the thing that I decided would make or break my thesis project.

    Got analysis paralysis the whole time I was researching how to do it, and ended up doing it in about a week in a half, in which I slept for about 8h total. Was congratulated on it by the board, but I'll never in my life work in that sort of thing again if I can help it.

  • Metamorphosis

    Jump

  • Saaaame here. Struggled all through school until I got to college where I did really well as long as I had a structure that agreed with me. A lack of it bit me in the ass come thesis though. Took ages.

  • Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after shots fired at his Pennsylvania rally

    Jump

  • Well, the nutters are just in time for gymnastics. Olympics are in a few days. If America's bullshit didn't spray out to the rest of the world like a hippopotamus with diahrrea, I'd grab popcorn.

  • So I just lost my main PC and... yeah... I need a new one for my university homework by the end of Sunday...

    Jump

  • OP might need a beefier rig depending on the programme they're in. Not saying they couldn't go for something cheaper, but there might be a reason for the pricetag.

  • Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after shots fired at his Pennsylvania rally

    Jump

  • Let's be honest, even if its a good ole boy, the nutters will find a way to blame it on minorities and/or the "left".

  • Do you think there are any beliefs which makes a person believing them a horrible person, or is it always 'hate the belief, not the person'?

    Jump

  • Yes. The person might be able to change, but at the moment, they're horrible.

  • What are some alternatives to Google Maps?

    Jump

  • Oh, thanks! For anyone reading this, it's on fdroid. Looks solid.

  • What are some alternatives to Google Maps?

    Jump

  • I've used maps.me for years. Works online and offline. Even took it abroad and used it instead of the stuff locals used, with the exception of london and liverpool, since I couldn't find a way to check train schedules.
